  • National Vegetarian Week

    Just wanted to wish any fellow veggies out there a happy NVW.

    To celebrate I organised the fellow veggies at the office to bring food in for everyone to try. This os the third year we have done this an I am still amazed by people's reaction who thought we only ate rice!!

    Personally two of the dishes I ttok in were taken from GYO's sister magazine "Cook Vegetarian" so thanks for that folks.

    Do the meat-eaters respond with similar kindness and bring their food in for everyone to try?
    The proof of the growing is in the eating.
    Leave Rotten Fruit.
    Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potasium - potash.
    Autant de têtes, autant d'avis!!!!!

              I am not vegetarian by a long shot, but love vegetarian food, so good luck with it and wish you were all closer!

                Yeah, I like a lot of vegetarian stuff (but not willing to give up meat entirely). I can cook vegetarian, and vegan for that matter.
                I am (in my mind) inventing a vegan version of my Paella. I got the idea when my son was going out with a vegan (who has moved on, and he now has a lovely Mexican wife).
                Oh yes I think it can be done! I would need the right spices, and lots of colourful veg, and assorted nuts for the protein (almonds, walnuts and pinenuts sounds a good mix to me, since all are readily available in Spain).
                Enjoy your week all those who have chosen to leave out the meat.

                  I had no idea it was NVW but then, it always is in our house. We don't eat anything that had parents.

                    No, but it's probably because there isn't an "eat a pig" week. If there were, I'm sure a lot of meat-eaters would spoil their workmates with something yummy.

                      Is there a freudian omission above.? The word "like" has been omitted.

                      I'm not a vegetarian. Man's brain developed from eating meat... :-)

                        Patchninja........just because I do not eat anything that has had a dump, does not mean that My food is tasteless.....My food (VEGAN) is absolutly scrummy! I dont normally ram my ideals in any ones face, but when there are stupid comments posted by meat eaters it really does get on my last nerve! I make food that is alot more full of taste, colour & texture than anything that has rotting flesh in it!! HAPPY NATIONAL VEGGIE WEEK!! YUM YUM!!

                          I have veggie paella before - probably doesnt bear that much resemblance to the real thing - but certainly very tasty. I am fairly sure it was vegan actually since I dont think there was anything dairy or animal-derived in it.
                          Lots of spanish paprika, peppers, peas, celery etc.

                          I've also had tofu jambalaya, which is similar-ish only much spicier - absolutely gorge (tho appreciate tofu may not be up everyone's street, I think it was smoked tofu to give more flavour).

                          Happily send you the recipes if you want to PM me.

                            There's always one who'll do a wind up,and equally,according to sods law of fishing,there'll be one to take the bait.

                              I simply posted my comment because of the previous one about the fact that meat-eaters weren't generous in sharing what THEY ate. I have absolutely no opinion whatsoever on what you eat and care less. I will eat anything as long as it's well cooked. Veggies too! I don't feel that my post called for your rather tasteless reaction.
                              HELP. I think I need moderating!!! Anyway, I'm off to work.
